Having issues accessing files with Windows 10

[liberty610]

Hey everyone.

I recently was curious about windows 10, and I just upgraded my board, processor, and video card. So I decided to do a fresh install of 10. I have heard mix reviews on it, but I wanted to tinker with it and see what it was all about.

Upon installing everything and getting it going, I am now attempting to get files off of one of my internal drives, but it is telling me "The File or directory is corrupted and unreadable."

Just before I upgraded my pc, I was running my old board on Windows 7 Ultimate (64bit). I have an SSD boot drive, and 5 other internal hard drives for mass storage (not raided). Knowing I was getting a new motherboard and would have to do a fresh install, I started backing up some files from my SSD drive to one of the internal drives. While I was running Windows 7 on my old setup, I was able to access these files off the drive without issues.

Now, I am on Windows 10 Pro (64bit), and it seems that a lot of the files I moved from the SSD to the other drive give me this "The File or directory is corrupted and unreadable" error message. Not every file does it, but most of them do. I don't have any issues access any other parts of that drive (so far), just the majority of the files I moved from the SSD when it was running Windows 7.

Basically, on the extra storage hard drive, I made a folder called 'SSD back up". I then did a drag and drop of all the files on the ssd I wanted to move to that drive. The files in that folder seems to load fine on Windows 7 before I upgraded my PC and installed 10.

Any ideas what could be causing this or what I can do to fix it so they can be accessed? I also noticed that there are certain folders and files I can not copy to any internal drive I have from an external drive. I will select a file or folder on my external USB drive, and do a drag and drop to an internal drive on the PC, but nothing happens. No error messages pops up, nothing gets copied, nothing really happens. Any ideas on what would be causing that?

Thanks in advance for any help!

I got this problem two... you have to some messing around, can't remember exactly what i did but i did a bunch of stuff in CMD... If you don't want to do the hard work just format the drives if so i can try to dig up the tutorials that helped me

One thing about me is, I only take the easy way out if I am in a rush ha. I like to do as much tinkering and research of a problem as much as possible. I love learning what happens and why, and what can be done to fix it. If you could point me to some material to read up on, I'd gladly try and fix this issue. I haven't found much on youtube yet, but I am still looking.

I did some playing around with DiskPart... and some other things in the Properties of the partitions

MAKE Sure not to wipe the disk...
It took me about two full days (straight) to figure this out. Hopefully it doesn't take you that long...

Here is some good keywords to search on google: Corrupt Partition, HDD not recognized,

Here is another thing i played with: http://www.howtogeek.com/101862/how-to-manage-partitions-on-windows-without-downloading-any-other-software/

once again be careful

Thanks for the reply, man! I'll take a look into this. It's not a HUGE deal if I screw the drive up as far as loosing data. I have everything important backed up to multiple drives. But when something like this happens I like to tinker and learn of how to fix it.

What is your take on the files not copying over from a USB drive? As I stated in my first post, there are certain folders and files I can not copy to any internal drive I have from an external drive. I will select a file or folder on my external USB drive, and do a drag and drop to an internal drive on the PC, but nothing happens. No error messages pops up, nothing gets copied, nothing really happens. It just sits there as if I didn't attempt to do anything....?
